ive been banging my head against the wall for two days now trying to figure out how to work with the mood tools ive been trying to get the sample stuff that came with it to run but have had no luck any help would be gratefull thanks

Unfortunately, that's about the only way to learn when it comes to modding any of Nova's games. There's a good number of tutorials on www.dfreload.com and www.dfbarracks.com just went back online a couple of weeks ago.

If your still interested, take a look around on the mod depot (that's here) and see if you can scrounge up any ideas. Key thing is to stay persistent.
